Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines cylinder head change

is there any problem with using a mid to late 70's head from a 250 on a mid 60's 230 block? any help would be greatly appreciated

Most of the later 70's heads were the integral manifold design. Prone to cracking from what i hear. Stay w/the design you currently have.

the head i am referring to to is not the integral design it is just the head by itself

Dear JJ;

Check with Larry AKA twisted 6.

Good luck,

JJ
depending on the casting number of the head it could raise or Lower your compression. But not enought to worry about. and It will bolt up with out any issues Esp.if this motor is still in stock trim.(cam , pistons wise)
